Atisuto - Al Ghurair Centre

About Atisuto - Al Ghurair Centre

The concept for Atisuto, which means ‘artist’ in Japanese, is based on the back- alley sushi restaurants found in Japan’s big cities, where the bustle of city life and creativity of the cuisine combine, creating a fast-paced, unique atmosphere.

The interiors of the restaurant are artistically unique. The space was inspired by avant-garde artists obsessed with Japanese Culture who entered the industrial space and expressed themselves freely, painting directly on the walls and floors. Up-cycled materials salvaged from local warehouses and yards, such as rusty metal and gnarled wood, were used in the fit out and design of Atisuto. Everything at the restaurant is based on sustainability and the importance of using locally sourced, environmentally friendly materials. From the furniture and general fit out, to the food used in the kitchen, wherever possible products were sourced from local UAE suppliers and companies.
